Is this rude or am I just too anal?!
Last night I offered my income challenged 10 year younger than I roomate some of my leftover food at which there was enough left for me to eat about 4 more meals, not including my side order of hot wings with ranch!. I wake up this morning and she left the food out "as usual" she does this with her food all the time but my food that I offered her a portion of!? Its totally wasted destroyed!. It was pasta with ground beef and I have a week stomach!. I believe in food bourne illness's, she is supposed to be so highly intelligent, why the hell can't she put food away after eating it!? Why does she leave stuff out all over the kitched that is supposed to be refrigerated after usage!? Is she just lazy or what!?
I am traumatized cause food is too expensive now days to be wasted!.!.
Do you all think I am being unreasonable about this!? What should I do!.!.!. charge her for the food that she wasted!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Answers:
No, you are not unreasonable!. The "ten-year-younger" could be a clue to her lack of common sense, however, it's my opinion that it's more lack of upbringing and "genes"!.!.!.!.RN mother not withstanding!.
No, you shouldn't charge her for wasted food!.!.!.she's income-challenged, remember!? Just chalk it up to the price of a lesson learned: don't offer her anymore of your food!. Better yet, get a new roommate!. It sounds like the problem isn't just left-over food!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If the person is that stupid, lazy and inconsiderate, it's time for a new room mate!. You can't just pick any idiot off the street to share an apartment with - and while you're at it, stop worrying if the putz eats or not, you're not her mother!. Let her starve and your food will remain refrigerated!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Don't sweat the small stuff - the food might be still alright to eat!. Smell it - if it smells alright then go ahead!. Tell the person not to do it again but it is not worth getting your knickers in a twist about the situation!. There are more important things to worry about!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
You are not being unreasonable but you can be mature about it and explain it to her and tell her not to do that in the future rather than getting so upset and fining her!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I wouldn't do or say anything about it, I would simply not do it again!. And I would look for another apartment/roommate situation!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
buy her some dish detergent,some rubber gloves,dishcloth and dish scrubber,i think she will get the hint!Www@FoodAQ@Com
You can't charge her--you gave it to her!. Once you give someone something, they can do anything they want with it!. As far as leaving a mess in a space you share, that's just bad room-mate behavior!. And wasting food is bad for the environment AND inconsiderate AND throwing away money!.
My advice, is to not share your food with her again, To discuss her lack of consideration for you regarding kitchen/food sanitation, and to maybe look into getting a different roommate!. Do you really want to spend your valuable time trying to get someone to change!. It rarely works, but you can give it a try!. If she doesn't change when you explain to her that this really bothers you, it means she doesn't care about your feelings, or there's a power struggle involved!. Either way, one of you should leave so you can salvage a friendship (if you want to)
As far as the food borne illness--don't be so paranoid!. I've left food out for 40 years--never once gotten sick!. Restaurant food I'd be a little more careful with because you don't know how clean the kitchen/staff is that prepared it!.!.
Good luckWww@FoodAQ@Com

Hunny, I feel you on this one! My dear ole hubby does this at times, and it makes me absolutely LIVID! I agree, not only is this disgusting, but a total waste of food!
Since this is a roommate and not a life-partner till death do you part, I suggest that you tell that heffa that the next time she takes up your offer of scoffing down some of your kibbles, that she eat it or put it away, otherwise, let that heffa starve! That will teach her!.!.!.!.at least that way food isnt wasted!. Her age doesn't matter, believe me
By the way, explaining to her that you are not a maid service or clean-up service should help, specifically as it relates to her leaving food and stuff out all of the time!. Set some basic household rules since both of you live there!. Maybe she is used to her mommy or a maid doing stuff like that!. If this is the case, then, let her know that she is welcomed to hire a cleaning service to come in and clean up all of her leftovers!. You guys can end up with roaches if not careful!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
